Haven't had an attempt on target since we scored - bring on a defender.

We played 120 minutes midweek when City had it off. From that we got 2 injuries (unlucky) and a suspension which has left us thin of senior players and pretty tired players on the match... we don't need to win this match so... why risk it when we don't need to? I don't think we could really attack fully if he tried

Holy Shit Dortmund. From 17th to 18th.

...hate me...
We were popping the ball around nicely in the first half, playing some decent stuff.

Some of the players look tired as fuck though. Like how does Mourinho watch Oscar play 90 minutes every week, sometimes more, and keep him on?

And now brings Cahill on for Remy?

Mourinho is scared out of his mind to be within 2 points reach from City. More afraid of that than willing to take chances to get the win and basically become champions today.

We played Liverpool two weeks ago and made 1 sub in the 89th minute - Ramires on.

We then lost to Bradford.

We then played 120 minutes against Liverpool and, again, made poor use of substitutions.

Now we're playing 90 minutes+ against City and have made one change.

It's been coming all season - we've been playing the same 12 or 13 players all season and now the lads are tired. Why, for example, when we're 4-0 up against Swansea does he not give some fringe players a run out? Like Remy on for Costa when the game is dead and buried to give him game time and give Costa a break?

Navas is more one dimensional than Valencia

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
Navas is terrible. Someone as quick as him shouldn't take such a long time to deliver a cross.

Did they even have a second shot other than the goal? So absurdly one-sided but we needed to bury one of those good chances.

Hopefully we will ditch Navas this summer.
 
I think Navas' problem is that whenever he wants to do anything he has to wake up first.

The problem is that he's shit, and once teams learned to play their leftback deeper to negate his ability to escape them off the ball, he has nothing else to offer.

Well supposedly after the Bradford game he told the players "why do you think the same 13/14 players always play?" citing how poor the back-ups play.

How did we use subs poorly against Liverpool? Cesc off for Ramires 50 minutes~ - injured, Luis injured for Azpili late on? - injured.

He saved a sub for Cahill or Drogba in ET and I'm pretty sure Liverpool did the same. Bemoan the quality of our back-ups when Schurrle and Salah are getting sold because they can't produce or even get on the bench than criticising the manager for his subs.
 
Happy with the point considering how we played, Hopefully Cuadrado can give us some more energy or at least allow us to rotate our players a bit more
